I cry to the Lord who answers me

1. I cry to the Lord who answers me, come to my aid, deliver me from all deceit, hypocrisy, O flood this weary soul. Our land has under darkness lain where words are broken, promise slain; O let your truth now rise again and shine its peaceful light. Come, child of our hope and bring the dawn, where peace shall reign and hope reborn, where children play - for fear is gone; when Jesus comes to reign. Come, Prince of Peace, lift up our eyes until the morning star shall rise and on the earth your glory shines; when Jesus comes to reign. to reign, to reign, to reign.
